Eliminate noisy log lines with Adaptive Logs drop rules
Blog post from Grafana Labs
Adaptive Logs introduces a new drop rules feature in Grafana Cloud, enabling platform and observability teams to efficiently manage log volume by eliminating low-value logs before they are stored, thus reducing noise and saving costs. This feature allows users to create custom rules using log labels, detected levels, or line content to target specific logs, supplementing the intelligent optimization recommendations already available in Adaptive Metrics and Adaptive Traces. Drop rules work alongside exemptions and recommendations to form a comprehensive log cost management system, ensuring essential logs are protected while unnecessary ones are filtered out. This system offers platform teams complete control over log volume and cost, with drop rules being available in public preview for admin roles in Grafana Cloud, allowing for immediate impact monitoring and management.
